But how does she play Simon? She is a work of art, you must be proud.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone! I'm very happy with it despite some areas that can be improved! I'm a perfectionist but I've learned to live with mistakes and deal with being human.

@DB: Gotcha! I've already planned my next two builds. It's a disease!!!

@Fretworn: It plays like a dream. I carved the neck thin enough to my liking and the wipe-on-poly finish makes it very smooth unlike if I were to use lacquer.

@Davey and Muzza: Necks are scary but they're super rewarding once it's done. Fortunately my neck hasn't snapped for the past 2 days it's being strung up!

What a scratch build, love it. And also thanks for the YouTube video diaries. Enjoyed watching them.

Thanks Andrew!

I'm in the process of uploading the demo videos. I must say once again Tonerider never fails to impress. The AC2 in the bridge and neck sound really sweet. The coil splits make it sound like a traditional strat too.
